Given my health uncertainty, I am looking for maintainers for the fritzcap project (it captures calls from a Fritz!Box modem/router and is written in Python).
History
The fritzcap project was originally started in2007 by [Wayback/Archive] spongebob | IP Phone Forum, first as a binary fritzcap.exe Windows executable (see his first post at [Wayback/Archive] FritzBox: Tool für Etherreal Trace und Audiodaten-Extraktion | IP Phone Forum). In 2010 it became an open source Python project at [Wayback/Archive] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

That was more difficult than I anticipated: [Wayback/Archive] how do I merge the tabs of two open Preview windows if I have more than two open? – Ask Different
First of all, make sure that the “tab bar” is displayed by choosing “view”->”Show Tab Bar”. Then, you should be seeing the tab bar, which displays the file name:
Then, in the other preview window, click and hold the tab bar, and drag it onto the tab bar of the target preview window. Using this method, you can merge as many tabs as you want.
Tested on MacOS Catalina 10.15.4

[Wayback/Archive] NeverSSL – helping you get online.
What?
This website is for when you try to open Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc on a wifi network, and nothing happens. Type “http://neverssl.com” into your browser’s url bar, and you’ll be able to log on.
How?
neverssl.com will never use SSL (also known as TLS). No encryption, no strong authentication, no
HSTS, no HTTP/2.0, just plain old unencrypted HTTP and forever stuck in the dark ages of internet security.
While writing it in 2022, the site would redirect me to http://oldserenewonderousbirds.neverssl.com/online, http://beautifulgrandoldspell.neverssl.com/online and http://majesticsilveroldeclipse.neverssl.com/online, which will change probably each time to deter DNS caching, as per this message when I disabled JavaScript:
⚠️ JavaScript appears to be disabled. NeverSSL’s cache-busting works better if you enable JavaScript for neverssl.com.
Why NeverSSL
Because NeverSSL always uses plain unencrypted HTTP traffic, any captive portal WiFi or wired network can easily sneak in or redirect to authentication.
That way you can logon, after which you can use encrypted HTTPS/SSL/TLS/HSTS traffic.

DNS hijacking can be used too
Leading to the above was this post by b0rk: [Wayback/Archive] how airports lie to you with DNS.

Some links on the unexpected turn of events after [Archive] Jeff Geerling (@geerlingguy) / Twitter posted
First his site got more traffic because of the post, then within an hour traffic exploded because of a DDoS overflowing both his Raspberry Pi cluster and his mobile data capacity.
Jeff will likely do blog posts on these and update the underlying GitHub repository at [Wayback/Archive] geerlingguy/turing-pi-2-cluster: Turing Pi 2 Cluster , but until then (since his Tweets were not threaded), this is what happened on 20220209 as it taught me a few bits:

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:
javascript:(function(){
publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
publicizeFormEditHref.click();
mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
publicizeFormHideHref.click();
updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
updateButtonHref.click();
})();
The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … ) and due to be improved in a later blog post.
This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.
On enabling one Mastodon account for publishing:

In other news since yesterday [Wayback/Archive] Twitter now requires an account to view tweets | TechCrunch
Like many of Twitter’s recent changes, this could easily backfire. If tweets aren’t publicly accessible, search engine algorithms could rank the site’s content lower, meaning that fewer people would be directed to the site from Google.
This not only hampers SEO, but any anonymous access to tweets resulting in Twitter to have become a walled garden without any prior announcement.
As of yesterday, this for instance makes it way harder for researchers to access Twitter in a non-biased way (the Twitter Algorithm will always bias the timeline for an account). It also prohibits the Wayback Machine from archiving Tweets (which I rightnow cannot archive):

Twitter is now more restricted than LinkedIn or Facebook, so I think it is a next step of burning the Twitter Equity to the ground followed after many other steps scaring Twitter users away, for instance as of:
